Where is it happening?
The Harmony College is an annual long weekend organized by BinG! where the whole intensity and inspiring emotionality of barbershop singing can be experienced in four-part harmony. Each singer has the individual opportunity to further their musical education, to contribute and to have a lot of fun.
Choir singers can sing in project choirs - where two songs are brought to life in an upbeat, passionate and cool way, which are then performed in front of an audience at the final concert.
In addition to the choir rehearsals, interesting courses are offered on the topics of singing, stage presentation, interpretation and barbershop-specific music theory. Every year, numerous renowned international barbershop experts look forward to passing on their knowledge and enthusiasm for barbershop.
You can find more information in our Info-Mails.
In recent years, the BinG! Harmony College has become a real magnet for barbershoppers and a cappella enthusiasts from all over Germany. The wide range of learning content, the fun of singing together (sometimes late into the night...) and the good atmosphere have ensured that many participants keep coming back.
Especially for young participants there is the Young Voices (for young barbershoppers up to 30), which offers a lot of fun among peers. Here, too, the weekend is crowned with a performance at the final concert.
As a 3rd stream, the weekend offers the Quartet College with special courses and individual coaching sessions for quartets registered at BinG! Depending on the coach and the quartet's own wishes, the sessions always focus on one of the 3 evaluation categories in the barbershop: Singing, Performance or Music.
Traditionally, the weekend starts with the quartet competition "Coesfeld Cup", in which quartets compete with 2 competitive pieces. Every 2 years the competition is also qualification for the German Quartet Championship of the BinG! music festival. This event gives the perfect start to an eventful and harmonious weekend with different evening events, exciting courses, nice exchanges and the famous afterglow, which rounds off each day with lots of fun.
